Hmmm ... I should get a wheelmouse.

OTOH, I don't like xffm. Nothing personal Edscott, I don't like *any*
file manager that doesn't work like Norton Commander. :-) So, Nautilus,
gmc, konqueror and rox all suck too. ;-)

IIRC, Jasper is planning to remove that feature, in favour of having the
panel "attracted" to certain positions. I guess it would be nice if
xfibx does the same.

I'm not sure what you mean by this ... ?

I think this was supported from day one. It's just that there aren't any
third party plugins to make use of this feature yet.
